Famous quotes containing the words central and/or italy:

    “The central problem of novel-writing is causality.”
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    “For us to go to Italy and to penetrate into Italy is like a most fascinating act of self-discovery—back, back down the old ways of time. Strange and wonderful chords awake in us, and vibrate again after many hundreds of years of complete forgetfulness.”
